TWO ATTEMPTS.
DISTINCTIONS Placed Across the
Branch Track in Two Places
Friday.

Two attempts were made Fri
day afternoon to wreck the incom-
ing accommodation on the South
Branch. Distractions were placed on
the track near Guthrie, only a short
distance apart. The first, a heavy
iron fish plate, was noticed by the
engineer in time to stop the train.
Good Roadway had scarcely been
gained after leaving the first obstruc-
ton when the engineer ran into q
pile Of ties, which had been thrown
across the rails. Owing to the low
speed at which the train was running
when the ties were struck, little dam.
age resulted. Both Instructions
were in places where a wreck would be
particularly undesirable, each being al
the foot of a grade, over a culvert.
